We received the first production prototypes of the Ætherium watches today, and featured in this video is the Turquoise Tellus, no prizes for guessing which stone is used here.

We are the first to incorporate stone not only in the dial, but also as case ring insert and on the microrotor too! The machining process and stabilisation of the stones have not been an easy feat, but we got there.

The prototypes will now undergo our QC gauntlet before we release for final production. Stay tuned for more, and if you would like to add one to your collection, we still have a few pieces left

Not sure what type of turquoise it is any help is appreciated thank you

I purchased this ring about 12 years ago in Colorado. It kind of called to me and slid on my finger perfectly. It's set in Sterling silver and is pretty heavy. Is it legitimate turquoise? If so, what type?

Turquoise is the one stone that stumps me as far as knowing the different kinds. And I’m not positive if the marks on the edge near the shoulder of the shank are hallmarks or not. Any help is much appreciated! (Sorry for the poor quality photos…my older iPhone doesn’t take the best. There are definitely pyrite specks in the stone that don’t show up very well.)

Everything about this screams howlite to me, BUT it seems to have copper inclusions/matrix in it.

I don’t want to do the acetone test, since it looks funky to me, and, if it’s howlite, that would ruin it.

Does anyone have thoughts?

I bought this turquoise and gold nugget bolo online with a bunch of southwestern style jewelry (costume) and there was no information about it. I’ve tried to identify it from pictures on the internet but I’m not 100% sure what it could be. The gold nuggets are genuine.

Estate sale with a lot of beautiful silver and turquoise jewelry. Two were labeled as vintage Tibetan. No Jewelers marks and crud around metal was Rusty brown. When I saw the price ($50) I made the assumption it was not real silver but white metal nickel copper something. Wanted to post here to see if anyone has similar pieces or if they know what the stone above the pendant is whether Pearl or abalone? Any info would be appreciated. I'd like some opinions about what where who why when. Thanks

My partner's scale is on crack, it was NOT seven pounds, but it was a lot for $30. No mine attribution. That knowledge went to the grave with the lady. I don't want to make claims I can't back up, but this is some insane gem quality turquoise. It reminds me of the morenci on a lot of Bennie Ration's. It's been sitting in a drawer since the 80s.

The lady who passed away supposedly has a lot more, both in NA jewelry, and with rough.

I will report back.
